First barber quarter, 2 mercs, and some other stuff

[Murray8144]

Dug my first barber quarter today at my go-to site up here in NJ. It's very worn but I could care less. Very shallow, about 3 inches. Also picked up two mercs and some kind of erie railroad token. Weather is supposed to turn butt cold so this may be my last hunt for a while...very happy with the finds.

Friends I was hunting with found a SLQ and two mercs between the two of them so a good time was had by all

EDIT: the 'railroad token' is actually a lead cargo seal.

Congrats on your first Barber quarter. I love checking things off the bucket list. I know what you mean about the cold coming. Looks like next weekend we may not get out of the teens. Ground is about to freeze hard for the season. You can always hit the beach. I took this photo at the beach yesterday!

I hear you about the beach. Gives me an excuse to buy a scoop.

Nice silver coins! The Barber quarter is always a great find.

Thanks! The spots I hunt have likely been pounded so I was very surprised to find a shallow quarter

Did you look to see if it has a mint letter? Looks in good shape. Post a pic of the other side. The O is worth more and S is worth way more than the plain one. Great find! [emoji106]
